• کلاس PostDto خودش را به عنوان اولین پارامتر جنریک BaseDto معرفی می‌کند.
• به عنوان پارامتر دوم، باید کلاس Entity ایی که قرار است به آن نگاشت شود (Post) را معرفی کنیم.
• پارامتر سوم، نوع فیلد Id است که در اینجا خاصیت Id کلاس‌های Post و PostDto ما، از نوع long است.
• نهایتا خواصی را که برای نگاشت لازم داریم، تعریف میکنیم مثل Title و...
• همچنین می‌توانیم خواصی برای نگاشت با خواص Navigation Property‌های Post هم تعریف کنیم؛ مانند CategoryName که به خاصیت Name از Category پست مربوطه اشاره میکند و AutoMapper به صورت هوشمندانه آن‌ها را به هم نگاشت می‌کند.
